Baby acne or rash

My baby boy is 4 weeks and these bumps came out of nowhere. I don’t put lotion on him. Nor do we kiss him in the face . He also has them on his neck . Anyone else experiencing this ? Should I be concerned or just let go away on its own?

Me too! My son is 3 weeks. I think they go away alone. I used dove lotion on him week 1 but switched to Vaseline now. I also ordered tubby Todd’s all over ointment so I’ll try that to see if it works

whew okay thank you . I’m a little at ease now . I read somewhere breast milk works I might try that . Is the Vaseline helping?

Pediatrician told me these are normal and will go away on their own. She prescribed hydrocortisone to my 3 week old and that seemed to help

I was wondering if I needed to make an appointment or just wait . he goes on the 17th for his 6 week . Hopefully it’s gone by then

My little one also has it on his face and also on his head. I’ve heard it’s normal and it goes away by itself but I also ordered the Tubby Todd’s ointment because everyone says it helps.

I used my breast milk on my babies face when I gave him a bath and I saw results the very next day

My 6 weeks started to have these bumps they are normal but I used this ointment called Tubby Todd All Over Ointment that helps a lot. It goes away in 24-36 hours.

I believe they get baby acne because they still have some of moms hormones in their systems. My LO was dealing with this as well.

Mine was getting some acne and I added breastmilk to his bath and it went away within 2 days 😊

It's bby acne
Breast milk does help

not too much. But it keeps his skin moisturized. I’m seeing other moms talking about breast milk. I’ll use that too
